Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom geoglyphs are an early quest you get set on by Impa once you find her on the surface. To unlock the story attached to the Tears of the Kingdom dragon tears, you need to fly through the sky and examine these strange markings in the earth in order to find a little pool – or tear – and uncover one of Zelda’s memories. You don’t need to find these in any particular order, though for continuity’s sake, it may help!
If you’re a lore hound and want to hunt them down as quickly as possible, we’re collecting together all the tear locations, which you can find below.

Anyway, here are all the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom geoglyphs locations. Note that the coordinates displayed on these maps don’t correlate to the TotK dragon tear locations.
Tear of the Dragon #1
The first Tears of the Kingdom dragon tear location is at the Royal Ancient Lab ruins in northern Hyrule. You can see the TotK geoglyph above, with the little tear symbol marking the pool that you need to find.
Tear of the Dragon #2
The second TotK geoglyph is on our map above, marked by the little tear symbol. This one is in the icy Tabantha region, near Rito Village.
Tear of the Dragon #3
You can see the third TotK geoglyph above, with the pool that you need to find marked by the tear symbol. It’s shaped like the Purah Pad – not a Nintendo Switch.
Tear of the Dragon #4
Memory number four appears just before the Dueling Peaks mountains in West Necluda. The tear shape marker shows where the pool is.
Tear of the Dragon #5
The fifth of the TotK dragon tears is in the Gerudo Highlands, above a chasm leading to the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom depths.
Tear of the Dragon #6
Dragon tear number six is fairly close to the first tear, though a little more to the west. This one takes the shape of Queen Sonia.
Tear of the Dragon #7
Be careful with this one – it’s near Lurelin Village which is absolutely overrun by pirates. You can drift down from an island above and avoid conflict, though.
Tear of the Dragon #8
You can see the eighth TotK geoglyph above with the little tear symbol marking the pool that you need to find, located in the Tabantha Tundra.
Tear of the Dragon #9
Next up, the hunt for TotK dragon tears takes us to number nine north of Mount Lanaryu by the sea. This geoglyph is in the shape of a secret stone.
Tear of the Dragon #10
Tear of the Dragon number ten lies near the Faron Grasslands, and unlocks the memory titled ‘A King’s Duty’.
Tear of the Dragon #11
TotK dragon tear number eleven is slap bang between the Eldin Mountain and Typhlo Ruins.
Tear of the Dragon #12
Once you find each of the eleven dragon tears in Tears of the Kingdom, a secret twelfth memory appears on the map. You can’t find it before the others, but here’s the location anyway. This one also doesn’t have a big geoglyph attached to it.
